The analysis shows that the Anglo-Saxons were the only conquering force, around 400-500 AD, to substantially alter the country&#x92;s genetic makeup, with most white British people now owing almost 30% of their DNA to the ancestors of modern-day Germans.The Guardianhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3269650/posts#commentThu, 19 Mar 2015 15:18:37 GMTUK ministers issue spaceport shortlisthttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3263524/posts
